How Water Line Break Cleanup Works in Alice

Damp insulation can stay wet inside a closed cavity. Technicians open affected sections when needed to expose and dry remaining materials.

1. Pump and extract the water

   A technician removes pooled water from the lowest affected room. Extraction follows the path into adjacent space. Water that crossed a threshold may need a second extraction pass.

2. Map moisture beyond the puddle

   A room may look dry from above while the pad beneath remains wet. Technicians check the layers. A nearby wall base can be wet even when the floor looks clean.

3. Remove materials that hold dirty water

   Contaminated drywall cannot simply be covered with new paint. Material handling follows the assessed water condition. A clean surface does not make saturated porous backing safe to keep.

4. Dry and confirm with readings

   Wet framing can take longer than a floor surface. Recorded progress determines when finish work can begin. Progress notes show when framing reached its drying goal.
